Clinical Eperythrozoon wenyoni (adler and ellenbogen, 1934) and Haemobartonella bovis (donatin and lestoquard, 1934) infection in a cattle

İştahsızlık, halsizlik, yüksek ateş ve anemi semptomu gösteren 3 yaşında montofon bir ineğin giemsa ile boyalı kan frotileri yapıldı. Bunların mikroskopik muayenelerinde; eritrositlerin yüzeyinde, 1-50 adet arasında değişen sayıda yuvarlak şekilde Eperythrozoon wenyoni, eritrositlerin çevresinde zincir şeklinde Haemobartonella bovis ile birkaç tane Theileria sp. bulundu. Türkiye’de klinik olarak yoğunlukla E. wenyoni, daha az yoğunlukta H. bovis’in görüldüğü hasta bir sığıra ilk kez rastlandığı bu çalışma ile ortaya kondu.

In a three years old Brown Swiss cattle showing the signs of fever, loss of appetite, exhaustion and anemia, blood smears stained with Giemsa was done. In the microscopic examination, roundshaped Eperythrozoon wenyoni on the surface of erythrocytes, in the numbers ranging from one to 50, a few chain-shaped Haemobartonella bovis on the peripher of erythrocytes and Theileria sp. were detected. This study reports the presence of clinically E. wenyoni and H. bovis in cattle, for the first time in Turkey.
